As we start to see an increase of individuals returning to work, they are going to be looking to their leaders more today than perhaps ever before. We have experienced many changes in our business and personal lives these past couple of months. Change has always been a natural occurrence within the work environment and is expected. However, change today will require leaders to raise their game, taking their followers with them on a journey where those in positions of authority will be required to pivot not only in the sense of critical business needs but with each team members individual needs. Make no assumptions of how people are feeling. Take time to listen. Be curious about motivations. Don’t assume that people will be motivated by the same things that you currently care about. Motivation is very personal and is what makes us unique. During change it is also one of the first things to disappear. We all know change drives opportunity — Raise your game and take others with you.
